Alright, let’s dive into this whirlwind. So, here’s the thing: Resident Evil 9—yeah, that’s been just dangling in front of our noses for, like, ages. Almost like that feeling when you think a sneeze is coming but nope, just kidding. Insiders, those shadowy string-pullers, kept whispering it would pop up at all these fancy shows. Spoiler: it didn’t. Until today, that is. Finally, it feels like the universe decided to stop teasing.
So today at this big shebang called the Summer Game Fest—where everyone in the gaming world gets all jazzed up—Capcom, those maestros of horror, dropped a nugget. Just a quick shout-out, like “Hey, thanks for loving Resident Evil!” Kind of cryptic, right? Made it sound like, “Oh, maybe we’ll chat later?” Classic misdirection. But hold on, as the curtains drew, BAM! Surprise, surprise.
Out of the fog (figurative, not literal), bursts this nasty teaser. They’re calling it Resident Evil Requiem, and from what little I gathered, it’s creepy as heck. Remember the vibes from Resident Evil Biohazard? Yeah, like that, but probably scarier. Heads up—it hits the shelves on February 27, 2026. Mark the date or don’t, no pressure.
Here’s a tidbit: Capcom’s been dropping stealthy hints in their vids lately, but you’d totally blink and miss them. One video was all like, “Yay, 10 million copies of Resident Evil 4!” and there it was, kind of lurking?
Rumor mill’s saying Resident Evil 9 is gonna shake things up, albeit maybe not earthquake level? We gotta wait and see. Who knows how much those leaks told the truth. Capcom’s been in their groove for years, though, so expect them to nail it with that survival horror combo we all dig.
More teasers and titbits will leak out, sure thing, as we inch toward 2026. It’s gearing up for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Get ready or don’t—it’s happening whether we’re prepared or not.
